I would not say that the posters are agressively irrational government haters. I don't hate the government, nor do I trust them. A government needs
to uphold on the unspoken social contract that they have between themselves and the people who they make laws for. When they turn around and follow a
different set of rules, or adjust the rules to suit their purposes, call and insult the people they are sworn to lead, kind of makes you wonder. Let
me ask you this, if they were your employees, what would you have done by now? Myself if they were my employees, I would have written them up, and
then terminated them and hired new people. The rules for being a leader has not changed, and the people in the federal government should not forget
that. You can not turn around and say yes we protect and follow the constitution, then turn around and violate said document, as they have currently
done. Such as put out that if you disagree with the policies of the current adminstration, you are a racist? Or call its general populace and
constituants stupid and not knowing what they need? Or turn around and violate the rights that we are guarnanteed by law, even to the point of where
the surpreme court has to determine if it is correct or not? We broke away from Great Britan for the violation of basic human rights, and created a
government of for and by the people, and when that government ceases to represent all of the people then it takes the risk of becoming a tyranny
rather than a demoncracy. When the laws that are enacted violate commen sense, then it is time for all of us to go back to the polls and remove those
in office and get someone in who speaks for all of the people, rather than a few.

in trusting that they will invariably screw up whatever they touch
in trusting the people who won't benefit from their actions is the public
in trusting that they have absolutely no clue what they are doing.
in trusting that no matter who's in office/power they will keep screwing the people over.

Is that enough on the right side of 50 to make me not some "irrational government hater" or whatever the quote is?

"we the people" and for most of you I say 0. But the gov. isnt going to throw its most valuable asset, us, under the bus.I dont trust them, but I
dont trust another gov. more.. on a scale of lesser evi;s, I trust the US the most.

What people forget is there is no separation between the people and the government... there would be if we were occupied but we aren't... so the
bottom line is if you ask how much do you trust the government what you are really asking is how much do you trust the people.
